So, if it were the beginning of the game, and I saw a Beast card (the 2nd article on the monster list) and said "I'm gonna stab it!", I'd roll my 3 dice. If any of them came up as 5+, I'd beat the thing and take a treasure.

Yes?

Erm. I like the first feat. It's nice... especially the whole "2 caster levels behind" thing as a Sorcerer. If you always factor in ASF (regardless of your chosen spell list) from armor and such, the feat should be fine... even weak, like Hicks says. This would basically be used for buffs...

Yeah... not working

What I'm getting form this is the following (concerning game balance): a) acid and fire damage = electricity damage b) Tongues = Speak with Animals c) Protection From Evil = minor movement speed bonus = Lay on Hands, and all of those are weaker than the toned-down Aura of Menace you've got.

On page 1 of this thread, SunTzuWarmaster converted the Product of Infernal Dalliance feat to Product of Celestial Dalliance pretty much unchanged. As a result, at first level anyone can get the [Angel] subtype. Doesn't this seem a mite overpowered, as that grants a permanent Lesser Globe of Invuln...

You needed to declare the use of your immediate action before the attack roll was made. Then it would apply. You cannot take an immediate action during the middle of a multstage stage single action. I.E. the attack roll and damage roll are "one thing". You can act before it or after it bu...

A Bacchae Problem... scratch that, a DM Problem

So some friends of mine are doing a quick little campaign about saving the world, and recently we just ran into an encounter with the Bacchae (FF p.18), nasty buggers who sing and dance and screw you over with their goddamn happiness. The way regular Bacchae tactics go is: They try to charm you or t...

I'm lookin' at those classes. Is that what you're thinking of for the Battle Magic? I can see it working, but I need a starting point..

Also:

Blue Battle Magic: Mayhaps sonic?

And I'm thinking the 4 types of Celestial are Aasimon (Angels/Devas), Eladrins, Guardinals, and Archons. Is that right?

Feats that don't do anything when you take them are never good. If an epic feat is balanced to take at 6th level, just make it onto a normal feat.

Since you're homebrewing anyways, just copy and paste the feat and then cut out the part that makes it require epic levels in the prereqs. If the feat is ok at level X, then it's ok at level X and prereqs have nothing to do with how ok at level X it is. I guess that makes sense; I could just put a ...

So I was optimizing an MoI Totemist, and I saw that he had an obvious lack of Chakra binds, which dissappointed me. I like Chakra Binds. I want more.
